Yeah, you'll want to clone the upstream git repository using git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git You'll then be able create your development branch based on 1.3.4 with git branch devel v1.3.4 git checkout devel Once you've done that, 'make syntax-check' will work. Please note that, unless you have very specific needs, you should base your development on the master branch instead of the 1.3.4 release: among other things, that's a requirement for having your changes merged upstream. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
